While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his followers, “I am thirsty. Please get me some water from that lake there”.The follower walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very dirty. The follower thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink”.So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The follower obediently (顺从地) went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to the Buddha.The Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the follower and said, “See, you let the water be and the mud settled down on its own. You got clear water. It didn’t require any effort”.Our mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time and it will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. We can judge the best decisions of our life when we stay calm.24. Why did Buddha asked his follower to collect water?A. Because they were travelling.B. Because they were passing a river.C. Because Buddha was too tired to go on.D. Because Buddha wanted a drink.25.

He is humorous and intelligent.C. He is hesitant and dependent.D. He is picky and impatient.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Trial and Error.B. Sometimes Just Let it Be.C. Buddha and His Follower.D. Efforts will Pay Off.CWhen I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fire and ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise ( 乐园 ) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal ( 地热的 ) baths while the snow is falling on their head.The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper ( 野营车 ). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance to be always in the right place at the right time.There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times of hotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.28. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.C. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.D. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.29. What did the author think of the rented camper?A. It was convenient but cost them more money.B. It was not only practical but also economical.C. It provided the best chance to see the new country.D. It was much faster than other public transport.30. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.B. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.C. December is the coldest month of the year.D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.31.What does this passage most probably come from?A. A textbookB. A scientific reportC. A news reportD. A travel magazineDA research has shown that nearly 90 percent of traffic accidents are caused by human errors. So our aim is a fully autonomous car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver. Researcher Hod gson points out, “For safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It s a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are po tentially saved.”It’s an idea that Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long believed. His company are determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla’s 2017 goal was “to do an example drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York…and have the car park itself.”However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome—the software needs further validation andthe appropriate regulatory approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn’t ready yet.The UK government appears committed to encouraging the development of autonomous vehicles. It’s supporting four city trials, publishing the Modem Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account problems such as insurance liability when a human isn’t in control of a vehicle.The insurance industry is similarly eager to help increase autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers (ABI) points out, “More than 90 percent of road accidents are caused by human error.” This costs motor insurers a shocking £20m per day in claims.32. What difficulty does the company Tesla Motors have?A. New inventions may cause more injuries and deaths.B. The company lacks confidence to make new creations.C. The software should be made officially acceptable.D. The traffic regulation has proved unreasonable.33. What is the UK government’s attitude to autonomous cars?A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Cautious.D. Disapproving.34. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Insurance companies would like to support autonomous cars.B. Human mistakes may be the key cause of traffic accidents.C. Traffic accidents wastes insurance companies quite a lot.D. Motorists are surprised to hear about autonomous cars.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To show his deep love for autonomous cars.B. To introduce a new development in technology.C. To amuse readers with funny examples.D. To provide a persuasive argument against autonomy.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest. Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five y ears ago. They’re very strong now.I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.1．What was Dr. Gibbs’ life goal?A.

To build a forest.2．One of Dr. Gibbs’ theories about planting was that ______.A. he often talked to the treesB. he never watered the treesC. he kicked the trees heavilyD. he buried the leaves around the roots 3．What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. Trees are not as weak as we think.B. Difficulty is necessary for growth.C. We should listen to others’ adviceD. Planting trees is good for the environment.3.（8分）New law lets students sleep inWhen your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder: Why on earth does school have to start so early?Fortunately, there is a new law to back you up―or better still, science.A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8:00 am and that high schools start no earlier than 8:30 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.Starting school at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change, but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier.“The e ffect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults,” Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect students’ mental health and increase the risk of getting fat and diabetes (糖尿病).In the short run, students’ school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher at the University of Minnesota’s College of Education, found that students who have enough sleep are more alert (机敏的) in class and get better grades.Some might say that urging students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty (青春期), which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 11: 00 pm. So when school starts at 8: 00 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, “Generations of children will come to appreciate ( 感激) this historic day and our governor for taking bold action.1.When should public high schools start classes according to the California’s new law?A.No earlier than 8:30 am..B.No earlier than 8:00 am.C.No earlier than 7:30 am.D.No earlier than 9:00 am.2.What can we learn from Bhargava’s words?A. The amount of sleep people need changes with age.B. Lack of sleep could lead to health problems.C. Lack of sleep affects adults more than children.D. Sleep problems are one of the leading causes of diabetes3.What do we know about teenagers’ sleep patterns?A. Ideally, they need eight hours of sleep a night..B. Less sleep is needed when they enter pubertyC. They often wake up at midnight due to biologicalD. They may have difficulty falling asleep before11.pm4.Where does this passage probably come from?A. A n ewspaperB. A b iographyC. A textbookD. An advertisement4.（8分）Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years，development in technology has moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now，two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype(原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton，marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics，says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly.“It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed，” he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company’s main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors(交叠式旋翼) to power the vehicle.The company is testing a fullsize prototype of the Hoverbike，which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand，the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a fullsize prototype of its personal flying device，called Jetpack(喷气背包).It can fly for more than 30 minutes，up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said Jetpack “is built around safety from the start”.In his words，“reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself，very sim ilar to a Formula One racing car.”Jetpack uses a gasolinepowered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr Coker says it also has a parachute(降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot，” he adds. Mr Coker says Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.1.We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike __________.A. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsB. can be transported quickly after being folded and packedC. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyD. can fly for over 30 minutes，up to 1,000 meters high2.The writer uses the example of Formula One racing car to show that .A.Jetpack’s engine is powerfulB.Jetpack is very safe and reliableC.Jetpack’s actual structure is uniqueD.Jetpack can reach a great speed and height3.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “ ”.A.the parachuteB.the engineC.JetpackD.the jet stream4.What is th e author’s main purpose of writing the passage?A.To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B.To show the differences between the two personal flying vehicles..C.To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.D.To advertise the two personal flying vehicles.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

His face had a gang （帮派）tattoo. The man looked for Cutlip‟s help to cover up his past.“I could see the pain in his eyes,” Cutlip said. Cutlip couldn‟t help the man --- the tattoo was too close to the eyes. But it got him thinking. Many young pe ople get tattoos that they come to regret. A few, like the man‟s , may have to stay with them for the rest of their days. Cutlip said，“If I can help, that‟ s my goal.”Cutlip decided he would help by hiding tattoos for free. He wrote on Facebook,” “Sometimes people make bad choices and sometimes people change. We believe there is enough hate in this world, and we want to make a difference.”One man, Casey Schaeffer, showed up with two bad words on his arms. He‟d served a year in prison for fighting and got to know a group there. “Because they took care of me，I thought of it as paying them back,” Casey said. But employers would take one look at the tattoos and turn him down. So he had Cutlip cover up one of the words with a heart and tattoo a horse over the other.Cutlip has done nine such jobs, each of which took several hours. A man let him know that he quickly found a job once his tattoo was hidden. Such victories encouraged Cutlip to found the Acts of Tattoo project with three like-minded tattoo studios from around the country, and now hundreds of people are on the waiting list. He said, “If we can just remove one bad tattoo at a time, then we‟re doing something.”4. What can we learn about the man with a gang tattoo?A. He suffered a lot in society.B. The tattoo made his eyes hurt.C. He had his tattoo hidden at last.D. The tattoo made him jobless.5. Why did Cutlip decide to help people deal with their tattoos?A. To give them a new chance.B. To cover up their characters.C. To spread out his own business.D. To reduce their hate for tattoos.6. What does the underlined word“it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Finding a job.B. Getting the tattoos.C. Fighting for the group.D. Facing his past bravely.7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Removing a tattoo is difficult.B. Many people with tattoos regret.C. Cutlip has carried out his work well.D. There‟re many people with bad tattoos.CEmojis（表情符号）are worth a thousand words. They are most technology user‟s favorite digital expressions ,after all. There‟s even a scientific reason why we love emojis so much.And we don‟t play favorites, either; we use one of the 1,800 emojis when we‟re sad, happy or angry.(You might want to think twice using an emoji in a work email.)But according to Apple, there is one emoji that rises above the rest. Their list of the most popular emojis was drawn from some data. The most popular emoji among U.S. English speakers is officially called the “face with tears of joy”,though most of us know it as the “laugh/cry” emoji, which many people use to express the fact that they are extremely happy. Coming in second place, the red heart follows well behind the laugh/cry emoji, while the “loudly crying” expression receives the No.3 spot. Smiling face with heart-eyes” is No.4 ,which is used as an expressions of love ,for example: “I love you ”or “I love this”.This isn‟t the first time the laugh/cry emoji has gained its recognition. In 2015,Oxford Dictionaries named the “face with tears of joy” the word of the year. While it was the first time a “pictograph(象形文字)” had been selected as a “word”, they believed this emojis came with an important message.“There were other strong competitors ,but the laugh/cry emoji was chosen as the …word‟ that best showed the mood(心情) of 2015.”t he company wrote. It‟s safe to say that the feeling has continued in 2017, too.8. What does the underlined part “play favorites” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Find out the difference.B. Know how to choose them.C. Understand their importance.D. Prefer one thing to others.9. According to Apple, what‟s the right order of the most popular emojis?10. What can be learned from Paragraph 3?A. Emojis were meaningless before 2015.B. The laugh/cry emoji has been popular since 2015.C. The laugh/cry emoji was officially accepted in 2015.D. Oxford Dictionaries introduced many new words in 2015.11. Why is the laugh/cry emoji so popular?A. It can show people‟s feeling perfectly.B. It is used to express people‟s happiness.C. It gained its recognition at an early time.D. It was the only one to be chosen as a “word”.DEveryone remembers their first day at a new school , It seems like just yesterday when I was walking up to join Millfield Senior school on a Monday morning. Although the journey took less than five minutes, it seemed like hours.I didn‟t know what if no one liked me or what if I did something wrong . On theway to the Johnson Hall for our first year group gathering ,I became nervous about meeting the rest of my class but I was excited as well .The first day seemed to go in an instant; I made lots of new friends and the activities we did in groups made it easier for us to know each other. The teachers seemed to be friendly and helpful. I hoped tomorrow would be as successful as today. That week I experienced so much: lots of different lessons in small groups, lectures delivered by well-known professors, exciting sport games, etc.In the following weeks, our class had a lot of things going on: we made a beach trip and held a sandcastle-building competition there. The competition was a bit terrible as we forgot to bring buckets and spades (铁锹) to build our sandcastle. We all enjoyed it, though. However, we made a great victory in the singing contest later in that same week.Now I can say that I enjoyed my time so much in Millfield Senior School, It offered so muchacademically as well as in other fields. The timetable was an improvement which allowed me to focus more on my favorite subjects. The extracurricular（课外的）activities were also wonderful. The highlight for me had been making the A team in hockey（曲棍球）。

From the text we may learn that Kamura is_________.A. an instructorB. a waitressC. a cookD. an artistBDear James,It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the end of the garden. I have just returned from a long bikeride to an old castle. It seems amazing that at my age I am stil l fit enough to cycle 20 kilometres in an afternoon. It’s my birth day in two weeks’ time and I’ll be 82 years old! I think my long and active life must be due to the healthy life I live.This brings me to the real reason for my letter, my dear gran dson. Your mother tells me that you started smoking some tim e ago and now you are finding it difficult to give it up. Believe me, I know how easy it is to begin smoking and how tough it i s to stop. You see, during adolescence I also smoked and be came addicted to cigarettes.By the way, did you know that this is because you become addicted in three different ways? First, you can become physi cally addicted to nicotine, which is one of the hundreds of che micals in cigarettes, This means that after a while your body b ecomes accustomed to having nicotine in it. So when the drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal symptoms. I remember feeling bad-tempered and sometimes even in pain. Secondly, you becom e addicted through habit. As you know, if you do the same thi ng over and over again, you begin to do it automatically. Lastl y, you can become mentally addicted. I believed I was happie r and more relaxed after having a cigarette, so I began to thin k that I could only feel good when I smoked. I was addicted inall three ways, so it was very difficult to quit. But I did finally m anage.When I was young, I didn’t know much about the harmful eff ects of smoking. I didn’t know, for example, that it could do ter rible damage to your heart and lungs or that it was more diffic ult for smoking couples to become pregnant(怀孕）. I certainly di dn’t know their babies may have a smaller b irth weight or even be abnormal in some way. Neither did I kn ow that my cigarette smoke could affect the health of non-smokers. However, what I did know was that my girlfriend tho ught I smelt terrible. She said my breath and clothes smelt, an d that the ends of my fingers were turning yellow. She told me that she wouldn’t go out with me again unless I stopped! I als o noticed that I became breathless quickly, and that I wasn’t e njoying sport as much, When I was taken off the school footb all team because I was unfit, I knew it was time to quit smokin g.I am sending you some advice I found on the Internet. It mig ht help you to stop and strengthen your resolve. I do hope so because I want you to live as long and healthy a life as I have. Love fromGrandad24.The first paragraph shows James’ grandad .has nothing to do at home B.lives a healthy lifeC.is tired when returning from a long bike tripD.likes sitting in the garden25.The phrase “withdrawal symptoms” in para3 probably mea ns _______.分离症状 B.撤退现象 C.断瘾症状D.戒毒反应26. In what way did the old man try to persuade his grandson to give up smoking?A. Using scientific theoryB. His failure in loveC. His sports activityD. His own experience27. According to the letter, James’ grandad .A. didn’t give up smokingB. used to be a member of the sc hool football teamC. is lonelyD. wrote down the advice from his experienceCTeenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitn ess. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “ First, you need to find out your present level of fitness, Then you can design a program me that will help you become healthier.”Dr. Lopez suggests that there are three levels d fitness that n eed a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight proble m. “Inactive” means that the person does not join in many phy sical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers t o people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep ac tive to keep healthy. “Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.” Ina ctive teenager should do similar activities, but add some bend ing and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can t ake a little more exercise than overweight people because the ir bodies are stronger.” said Dr, Lopez. The same principle ap plies to active teenagers.Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. “These are r eally important in order to prevent in jures.” Dr. Lopez said. So me weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person's strength.28. What can we learn from the passage ?A. Active people always have a high fitness level.B. Overweight people always take more exercise.C. Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweightD. Keeping fit means changing teenagers’ lifestyle.29. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important ?A. It can make the teenagers grow taller.B. It can help teena gers become healthier.C. It can help to burn up calories.D. It can make bodies stro ng.30. In order to prevent injuries, you should do some_________ ___exercises.A. WalkingB. stretching and bendingC. RidingD. weig hting--training31. What is the best title for the passage?A. Doing ExerciseB. Teenagers’ FitnessC. Different LifestylesD. Overweight TeenagersDA SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTINGArt is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles i n Western art havechanged many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would beimpossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Conseq uently, this text willdescribe only the most important ones. Starting from the sixth century AD.The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD)During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to repre sent religiousthemes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical pi cture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that i deas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Gi otto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more real istic way.The Renaissance(15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually re placed those held in the Middle Ages. People began to conce ntrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanisticattitude to life.At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to posses s their own paintings, so they could decorate their superb pala ces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictur es of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as th eir activities and achievements.One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first us ed by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realis tic pictures. By coincidence,oil paints were also developed at t his time, which made the colors used in paintings look richer a nd deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for wh ich this period is famous.Impressionism(late 19h to early 20th century)In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal,from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many p eople moved from the countryside to the new cities. There we re many new inventions and social changes also led to new p ainting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived a nd worked in Paris.The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. T hey were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light chan ges so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their p aintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At fir st, many people disliked this style of painting and became ver y angry about it. They said that the painters were careless an d their paintings were ridiculous.Modern Art(29th century to today)At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings w ere controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginnin g of what we call “modern art”. This is because the Impressio nists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new w ays. There are scores of modern art styles,but without the Imp ressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist. On t he one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eye s, but instead concentrates n certain qualities of the object, us ing colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other ha nd, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they loo k like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can pre dict what painting styles there will be in the future?32. In the Renaissance, painters__________________.A. painted religious scenes in a more realistic styleB. focused more on religion than on humansC. began to paint outdoorsD. returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art33. Many people hate the impressionists’ style of painting at fi rst because their paintings _____.A. very abstractB. very realisticC. the same as traditional style of paintingD. very ridicul ous34. ____ discovered how to make paintings look more real by using perspective.A. Giotto di Bondone.B. Masaccio.C. Claude Monet.D. Pablo Picasso35. When did people focus more on people and less on religio n?A. From 5th to 15th century AD.B. From 15th to 16th century.C. From late 19th to early 20th century.D. From 20th cent ury to today.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AA “sugar tax(税)” should be introduced by the UK government to help control obesity in childhood, a campaign group says.Action on Sugar is a group of experts concerned with sugar and its effects on health. It says one in five children in the UK are now obese, while one in three are overweight, due to eating too much sugar and fat.The group has put forward a six-point plan to discourage adolescents from consuming foods and soft drinks with high levels of added sugar. The group wants measures brought in to cut added sugar and fat in food and to ban sports sponsorship by “junk foo d” companies. The Department of Health says it will consider the suggestions.The six measures include:●Reduce added sugar in food by 40% by 2020.●Ban all forms of marketing unhealthy foods and drinks for children.●Ban sports sponsorship by companies that produce junk food.●Reduce fat by 15% in ultra-processed foods by 2020.●Limit the availability of ultra-processed(深加工的) foods and sweetened soft drinks.●Introduce a sugar tax to support healthier food.The group’s chairman, Prof Graham MacGregor, says current policies are not working and that obesity can be prevented if the food environment is changed.Dr Aseem Malhotra, consultant of Action on Sugar, says, “I’m disappointed that food industry continues to spend billions on junk food which usually has a lot of added sugar.”Earlier this year Dame Sally Davies, the chief medical officer for England, said a sugar tax might have to be introduced to reduce obesity.21. According to the passage, Action on Sugar introduces sugar tax in order to ________.A. change the food environmentB. prevent children’s obesityC. decrease junk foods in the marketsD. reduce fat in children’s food22. We can learn that ________ from the six-point plan in the passage.A. all the junk food companies should be closedB. junk food factories should not produce any moreC. any junk food advertisement isn’t allowed at sportsD. all the junk food companies shouldn’t support sports23. What do you know about Dame Sally Davies?A. He wrote the six-point plan for Action on Sugar.B. He thinks some soft drinks contain too much sugar.C. He worries about the food markets in UK.D. He is the chief medical officer for UKBA 101-year-old message in a bottle that was thrown into the sea in Germany has been found and presented to the sender’s granddaughter.The bottle was found by fisherman Konrad Fischer last month in the Baltic Sea.Researchers studied the note inside the bottle which included a postcard that asked the finder to return it to the sender’s address in Berlin. Most of the ink on the postcard had faded, but they were able to figure out that a 20-year-old man named Richard Platz threw the bottle into the sea while on a trip in 1913. A researcher then tracked down Angela Erdmann, the now 62-year-old granddaughter of Platz.Erdmann was able to hold the bottle for the first time last week at the Hamburg Museum. Even though she never met her grandfather, holding the bottle was still a very special experience.“That was a pretty moving moment,” she said.“Tears rolled down my cheeks.”The bottle will go on display at the Hamburg Museum. After that time experts will try to figure out what the rest of the message said.24. If Platz were still alive, he would be ________ years old now.A. 62B. 101C. 121D. 12325. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The article was published in 2015.B. The bottle began its floating in the Baltic Sea.C. It is difficult to read the words on the postcard.D. The sender’s daughter hasn’t moved away from the old address.26. What is the most possible reason why Angela cried when she received the bottle?A. It is really surprising that the bottle should be sent to her.B. She wants to see her grandfather before long.C. She recognizes her grandfather for she has a photo of him.D. She once heard her father talk about her grandfather’s experience.27. Where is the passage most probably from?A. A textbook.B. A newspaper.C. A travel guide.D. A diary.CHis name was Aylan Kurdi. He was 3 years old, from Syria which was torn by the wars.His final journey was supposed to end in temporary settlement in Europe; instead it has taken away his life and has showed Syrian people’s hardship since World War II.The picture of the lifeless body of the boy who had just learnt to walk affected the whole globe, causing the public anger and embarrassing political leaders as far away as Canada, where the government had refused the boy’s relatives’ application for asylum(庇护).The child in red T-shirt and shorts was found facedown by the seaside. He had come from Kobani, a town near the Turkish border that has witnessed months of heavy fighting between Islamic State and Syrian Kurdish forces.The boy drowned after the 15-foot boat carrying him from the Turkish beach to the Greek island turned over shortly before dawn on Wednesday. The accident killed 12 passengers, Aylan’s 5-year-old brother, Galip, and his mother, Rehan, were also among the dead. His father, Abdullah, was the only family member to survive.The kid’s father, who was desperate, said outside the morgue(停尸间) on Thursday, “From now on, I will live in Kobani too. I want to be buried with my family.”Mr. Kurdi brought his family to Turkey three years ago, after escaping from fighting first in Damascus, where he worked as a barber, then in Aleppo, then Kobani.From his hospital bed on Wednesday, Abdullah told Syrian radio station that he had worked on construction sites for 50 Turkish lire a day, but it wasn’t enough to live on. He said they depended on his sister, Tima Kurdi, who lived in Canada, for help paying the rent.Canadian media had cited Ms Kurdi in Wednesday reports saying Aylan’s family had applied to immigrate to Canada, but the application was rejected because “it did not meet regulatory requirements for proof of refugee status recognition(难民身份证明)”.28. How many people did such a small boat carry in the passage?A. 11.B. only 12.C. 13 at leastD. 14 at most29. What fundamentally led the family of the Kurdis to the disaster?A. The poverty of the family.B. The boat’s turning over.C. The wars in Syria.D. No awareness of the danger.30. Mr. Kurdi changed his journey because ________.A. no boat took him to GreeceB. he gave up the hope of livingC. he was frightened by the accidentD. he decided to fight in Syria31. What can we infer from the passage?A. Mr. Kurdi is so brave that he decided to take his family to Greece.B. A drowned Syrian boy draws the world’s attention to the Syrian crisis.C. People forgive Canada for their rejecting the Kurdis’ application.D. The boat in the accident was over burdened.DWell-known Norman Vincent Peale writes his best-selling book The Power of Positive Thinking. He believed that ordinary people could become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things, and when they believe in themselves. They have the secret of success.If you look back on history, you’ll see many examples of ordinary people who have achieved extraordinary achievement. Many of the best known people, who have left their mark in the pages of history, failed many times on their climbing up the ladder. This is not a “history lesson”, so we won’t go into the specifics(详情), but there is no doubt that this is true. These people had something in common. They had self confidence as well as perseverance(毅力) in achieving their goals, and a sense of fulfillment. Most successful people have a “can do”attitude. While failure is always possible, they face failure bravely and approach life with an optimistic attitude.Above all y ou must have a goal clearly in mind. It’s like the parent asking their child what they want to be when they grow up. You, and only you, can decide where you want to go on your travel through life. But you can’t sit on the top of a hill and think pleasantly all day. You have tocome down to the real world and set your objectives. You must have a plan of action, and follow it. In other words, plan your work and work your plan. While things come up to delay you at times, y ou mustn’t give up your goals. You must be organized, and have a system in place to attain your objectives.If you are fired with enthusiastic ideas and allow them to control your thoughts you will find that new horizons will open. As long as your enthusiasm lasts, new opportunities also will. Don’t wait for the chances to beat a path to your door—they won’t. Search out and seek new opportunities. Allow yourself to think outside the boundaries. Remember, failure is merely a stepping stone on your road to success, and if you exercise positive thinking, you’ll reach your objective.32. According to the passage, what are the remarkable people in history in common?A. They believed in themselves and persevered.B. They all served the people heart and soul.C. They failed many times in their struggling.D. They all came from the ordinary families.33. According to Paragraph 3 the author advises us to ________ to realize our aim.A. work hard day and nightB. work in an organized teamC. work systematically or orderlyD. work by following others’ examples34.
